The Fiat Linea is a small family car released in 2007 by the Italian automaker Fiat in Eastern Europe, Latin America and Middle East. In India, the Fiat Linea is expected to be launched by Mid 2008. It will replace the aging Marea as the largest saloon in the Fiat range. It is based on the current Fiat Grande Punto platform. The Linea was designed by Fiat Style Centre and co-developed by Fiat do Brasil and Tofaş from Turkey.
Linea's size is similar to saloon versions of other small family cars, like the Ford Focus, Renault Mégane and Opel Astra. Its wheelbase is 2603 mm, i.e. 100 mm longer than its sister models, and its total length is 4560 mm, or 500 mm more than them.
In South America, the Linea will receive a 1.9L engine, "torque" derived with aprox. 130cv, flexible for the Brazilian market (capable of using petrol or ethanol).

Linea is equipped with Blue&Me hands-free system, a Microsoft Windows Mobile based system with multi-language voice recognition and speech functions. Allows to browse mobile phone's book, reads aloud SMS and controls the audio system - using built-in USB port, one can connect PenDrive with music in MP3 and WMA formats.
